I transferred information from an old Mac to my new MacBook Pro and all the files on my desktop were transferred to iCloud Drive. I don't want all this on my iCloud Drive (to keep that from maxing out space) and would rather have these files just on my desktop. How do I do that?

thanks,

Copy the files from iCloud Drive to a folder other than Documents and the Desktop. Go to System Preferences/iCloud/iCloud Drive/Options and turn off syncing.  Rearrange the files as desired.

If you turn off Desktop and Documents, (System Preferences ➔ iCloud ➔ iCloud Drive Options ➔ Documents ➔ Desktop & Document Folders ➔ Off) your files will stay in iCloud Drive in the cloud and a new folder is created on your Mac where the files you have stopped syncing will be written to.

If you don’t want the files to remain in the cloud and/or you have doubts about the automatic recovery of files to the new folder you might do the following instead...

Create a temporary folder in your home folder and move all your documents there from iCloud Drive. (this step removes the files from the cloud and moves the files on your Mac in one step.

Once complete turn off iCloud Drive for Documents and Desktop (System Preferences ➔ iCloud ➔ iCloud Drive Options ➔ Documents ➔ Desktop & Document Folders ➔ Off) and move your documents from the temporary folder to the appropriate locations (Documents/Desktop) and delete your temporary folder.
